Cough cough between the dust and cobwebs  it really  been slow. Must really be the dog days of summer.

Another fun close night of racing at Al's  place last night. We  had 6 racer make out to do battle  on the track and it was a battle.up 1st was  sports  car 1 and with 14k motors and skinny tires you had to drive the car like you stole it to make time so there was lot of forced  errors trying to make time around the track. Doc pulled out is trusted ninco Cobra and was able to squeeze  out the win over Al's smoking  smooth  running  brass chassis  Cobra followed by  Greg's equally  prepaid   birdcage. Up next was slot it classic  and to say these wasn't  a interesting  race  would be a under statement.  Race came down to a Ford vs Ferrari  battle and unlike the movie the ford's did not come out on top..both top running ford's had driver forced errors resulting in confused corner workers  fumbling  with cars and important  time loss. Trying to get the the cars back into the race. We all learned a very important lesson  some of more than once. In the end Rico stood  tall and very happy on the top step followed by Al  and then Doc. Last race of the night was open class  and these class is dominant by thunderslot  cars.  These race was a battle all night with cars just mm apart on the track  and there was lots of painted traded  and cars sent into the rails in the close battles. There was very little quarter given.you had to pick your pass  with great care and hope to get away to the next corner  and hope you could hold onto your lead. In the end Doc was able to hold off some hard charging cars and take the win. I think Al took 2nd followed by Rico and Gregg. But that race was crazy with how intense  the racing was.   Next race in two weeks is can am and trans am.

Yep was fun for my 1st Saturday race.  Learned a few things  about preparing  these bigger cars.the secound round just killed my lap count but it happens think most of use had a car issue  at one time or another. Nobody was going catch that 33 car.

RACE REPORT FOR MAY 25 2023. Fresh off the wire.............. we had 5 racers that battle the Portland traffic to do battle on the track. Up 1st was slot it dtm and with it being a spec class the racing  was expected  to be close and it was for the most part. Rico car stood out as the car to beat if you want to stand on the top step and he backed it up with a easy  two lap win over Doc in 2nd and Greg third Rico was the only driver that could run in the high 6's during  practice  and during  the race.everybody else was stuck in the 7 so easy win for Rico. He can say he took the 1st win in the class. Wtg..up next was Trans am and Rico was again showed that he a fast car in practice  but bad luck with a guild wire coming off dropped him down the running order . At the end  it was Doc taking the win followed by Al and then Dave.last race of the night was thunder slot open and these one was a close race with everybody  putting down low 6 secounds laps  with the win coming down to the last heat and tenths counted on the track  Doc once again was able to squeeze  out the win by 2 tenths over Al followed  by Greg in 3rd . That it for the night guys back up and headed home. Thanks Once again for hoisting the race Al

Yep I see  them now. . Must of been a issue in the matrix.

Well It was interesting  night of racing. Good luck all driving and racing at Bend these weekend.  Give them hell.

Ok, traffic just sucked on Thursday  took me two hours to make the trip from Canby to Al. Normal drive is 30 min.  So not sure if that was a factor in the low turn out or not. We just had enough  to corner and race wo 5 brave souls  fighting portland traffic. Up 1st was Lemans  and it was a fight cat fight all down the running order with Doc taking the win followed  by Al then Rico. Up next was the revo  slots, different cars same results.and finally we had open and Doc pulled out the broom and went for the sweep with Greg taking a hard earned  2nd followed  by Rico. Al had a really fast car but one forced off and putting the wrong lane sticker cost him dearly.. next time up it will be trans am and the madden  race for the slot it dtm cars. These is going to a very interesting  race do to the fact that are so even and so little tuning to be done. Going come down to who ever can stay clean and in the slot.
